First Journées grégoriennes
at Saint-Viateur Church in Outremont
The very first
Journées grégoriennes at Saint-Viateur Church in
Outremont (Montreal, Quebec) took place on Saturday and Sunday, April
12th and 13th 2008. Twenty-five participants from Quebec City,
Montreal, Cornwall, and Hamilton took part in Gregorian chant workshops
led by Jean-Pierre Noiseux and Alain Vadeboncoeur. On Saturday night,
the Schola Saint Grégoire and the Ensemble Virga presented a
joint concert on the theme of Christ’s Resurrection, which was
extremely well received by some fifty enthusiastic listeners. On Sunday
morning, 16 participants joined their voices together to celebrate the
Mass for the Fourth Sunday after Easter.
Mark your calendars for the second Journées grégoriennes
at Saint-Viateur Church in Montreal, on May 9th and 10th 2009.
